What methods do archaeologists use when working in the field or trying to discover the age of an artifact? They use syncdiscovered and then compare it with a date an already recorded date in history. This method allows the archaeologist to establish dates of artifacts from other times that haven’t received a date.
To successfully use this method of synchronism you must have a constant, the constant in many situations would be a history timeline of a certain subject. If the constant is present, then you may compare. If the artifact you are trying to place a date on is related to the artifact that has already been dated, then your constant comes into play. If a leader of a civilization matches the time of the artifact that has been dated then you can find a relative date for the artifact that has no date.
To conclude, synchronism is the method in which archaeologists compare artifacts and attempt to place a date on one of the hronism, which is a method of timing in sync with another object or time. Archaeologists can use synchronism when an object’s date has already been artifacts by using a constant. The constant is historically established information relating to the artifact that already has a date. If the artifact without a date is similar to the artifact with a date, then the artifacts were both used in the same time period, making it much easier to establish a relative date on the artifact. -Anthony Namnum
